In the ever changing and evolving complex world of our global economy and our national economy, how has the profession of a Real Estate Agent or Realtor changed?
Are the older traditional methods still relevant with all the technological changes in our Industry? Has social networking resulted in a division from traditional real estate and that of the latest trending technology solutions for real estate?
With the new mobile solutions that allow us to basically do most of our business on our cell phones, to using video and pod casting for better ways to communicate with our Consumer along with the creation of better websites that provide the Consumer with the tools they can use to better learn about local, national and global real estate markets, have we left the majority of Realtors and Real Estate Agents behind?
My personal opinion while qualifying the fact that I am a "Technologist" and have been so for longer than I care to share is that the answer would be NO. Real estate is and will always be a "relationship-based" profession. A good agent with a mature business and who has lived and worked within his or her community for a long time can be just as successful as those Real Estate Agents and Realtors who are using every leading edge technology solution.
I would encourage all agents to invest in learning how technology can better help you in your business, however I will always know that it is the work we do on behalf of our clients that enables us to remain in business and to continue to build our business. Relationship is everything in our Industry and the REAL in Real Estate Agent means connection to helping our clients reach their goals and staying in touch on both a personal and professional level.
The job does not end when the keys change hands. That's the REAL part of being a Real Estate Agent!
